i dont know wot every one is "YAY"ing about, but i just downloaded one of the versions of WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER 8.0 BETA, and i think it is seriously crap!my eyes are hurting from looking at the screen! and sum of you may reply to this post saying that the old versions of MSN messenger was quite bright too... but if you thought so, you shouldve downloaded one of the skins! hopefully, mess.be or sum one will develop downloadable skins... i hope they are darker ones coz my eyes are sooo sore!!!!!oh, and so much for a newer version, the convo window and the contact list looks sooo crap.. looks like the reli old versions. I'd prefer to have msn messenger 7.5 and messenger PLUS. unless, the pplz add more cooler and better functions!!! like wat is up with only being able to choose a from 16 colours??? well, i have a lot more to complain about messenger 8.0, but i have to do my hw. bye [FONT=Arial]
